Word 2003 & 2007 generating wrong index when using doc variables

[Guest]

I have this index entry:

{ XE “{ DOCPROPERTY SAC \ * MERGEFORMAT }:Internal workingsâ€}
And also this one:
{ XE “{ DOCPROPERTY SAC \ * MERGEFORMAT }â€}

I cannot resolve the document’s variable since I must use different ones for
re-branding purposes.

When updating the index, I get two different entries instead of one with a
sub-item:

I get

Client Driver, 47
Client Driver
Internal workings, 55

Instead of:

Client Driver, 47
Internal workings, 55

any suggestions?

Hi Emiliano,

Seems to be a bug :-(

As a work-around, you could put a backslash in front of the colon:
{ XE "{ DOCPROPERTY SAC \ * MERGEFORMAT }\:Internal workings"}

Not quite sure why that helps, but it then seems to list the sub-entries
correctly.

Regards,
Klaus
